is still split down the middle was that there are two parties on the left. still split down the middletwo parties on the left! country split down the middle. east surrey, a country split down the middle. 0n the left, there is podemos, and on the right, you have three parties. so it is a country thatis three parties. so it is a country that is still very divided, but along the lines of two different blocks rather than party lines. one person described it to me as authoritarianism spain meeting democratic spain, and at the root of all this, separatist parties in catalonia, which even though the public said they were voting for the economy and other things like that, that still goes to the heart of what has been a crisis for this country. it's a very divided country. as you said, some important topics such as the economy and foreign policy, the eu, many important things for people here are completely off the table. so it has been a very polarised campaign. spaniards are quite surprised at this new puzzle, five players under 50, all men. it's a very interesting and aggressive campaign. and

party. for that, certain tipping point before i left the party. tipping point before i left the party. for that, ithought certain tipping point before i left the party. for that, i thought i would be doing better if i try to reform. it's something that many politicians have done around the world, and the fact that i haven't succeeded, it does not mean i was wrong in my choice. i don't feel that i have two apologise for what i have done. i'm still trying my best and ina have done. i'm still trying my best and in a way i'm producing results. these are troubled times in sudan and they're these are troubled times in sudan and they‘ re not these are troubled times in sudan and they're not anything to judge by. the outcome of the protests, the results might look shocking to some people. and i don't think we should rush to condemn those who are behind the present situation protests. nobody is rushing to contempt the protesters, one thing that they have said consistently, particularly the sudan professional association, the young professionals behind the

party. you know what i'm going to vote for the left wing party only just put their most because the traditional parties have deceived us too often they were involved in so many corruption scandals and have never delivered on their promises. and i think it's great that there are no alternatives i couldn't really identify with either of the major parties but there weren't any other real options. the far right vox party look set to win seats in the national parliament for the first time it's predicted to win at least ten percent of the vote with this populist anti immigrant and anti feminist message a sentiment that seems to resonate with many. i like how they defend spain and our civil liberties they want to cut taxes and put an end to the gender ideology that promotes the abortion and criminalizes mad a lot of. young people are sick of our traditional politicians doing the opposite of what they promised. forty years after the end of general franco's dictatorship spain finds itself with a resurgent far right just like many of its european neighbors. spain's traditional parties will no longer be a

call it officially the radical left democrat party. would drive our nation into economic and financial ruin very quickly. and they will take your guns away too, by the way. nothing is more dangerous than the democrats' crazy immigration agenda. we want it solved. we're building the wall, by the way. we're going to have over 400 miles of wall built by the end of next year. >> build the wall! build the wall! build the wall! >> you know, we can get money for the anything. they were willing to give me money for every single thing, more money than the i wanted. i said i don't need that much

the new government looks likely to be formed by the socialists with support of a more left—wing partyplications for economic policy. as we mentioned, the economy is slowing but we know the left—wing party that probably will help form the coalition is keen to increase the minimum wage as well as increase social spending. of course, that will mean higher taxation so the net impact may not be that the economy actually takes off but there is certainly a programme which will try to shore up consumer spending. the unemployment rate has been coming down although it's still pretty high, over a 14%. down although it's still pretty high, overa14%. as down although it's still pretty high, over a 14%. as we said, economic growth is here, 2.2%, the envy of many economies in europe, but with regards to spending power, if we have a socialist, strong left—wing government in spain will they be able to deliver on promises of that nature? the challenge is the budget deficit is relatively high, just below 3% of gdp so it's brushing up against the limits that the european commission, the european commissi

parties left wing parties of course to kind of build together a majority i in the governmenttt they're nott too far off from doing set in okay -- so he same similar kind of graph heree -- moving on to the reactctions fr- socialalists in frce you havee any doubt go who iss the mayor f paris and a a member o of thee socialalist party who i is -- obviously e extending her congraradulationons to pedrdro z anand thehe spanish a socialistr their victory in last night's election. similarly you have the spokesperson of the french socialist party also extending congratulations and saying she really hopes that this will be an inspiration and a sign o of hope -- not only for the french socialist party but for e europn left wing parties looking ahead to the european e elections andt ththend of may. so positive reactions coming from french socialist that said there are some experts who have said kind of i guess. words of warnining if youou wil- that socialist did well by mobilizing against right wing extremism which has a very specific historical meaning in spain the mainstream conservatives did ba

but forming a ruling coalition won't be easy on likely allies the anti austerity far left party put de must lead by pavlo iglesias. the election mobilized a huge number of people over seventy five percent of the electorate including those who support the far right. and her vox and anti immigration anti-feminist party that's the first time a far right party has gained seats in spain's parliament since the days of general franco. thank you mr so no three see below this is only the beginning we told you about our goal to initiate the reconquista and that's exactly what we have done. this is a reconquest with the voice of parliament as of today we can now say loud and clear to the entire country that vox has come to study. the country's mainstream conservative party the people's party suffered big losses it was their worst election to date. spanish politics like elsewhere is becoming more polarized. the election was pitched by prime minister sanchez a socialist as a bid to stop the far right now i've been very happy because i thought that the extreme right would win a lot more but spain re

she is joining it she has now left the party. she isjoining up it she has now left the party.th nigel farage. there he is, his back. i remember interviewing him the morning after the referendum and saying, you are out of a job now, aren't you? and he said he was delighted to be. but it seems not. that's right. i think he pretty quickly became quite doubtful about whether brexit would actually be delivered. so in the way that the prime minister feels herjob and her mission is to deliver brexit, whatever that is, asjoe was saying, the telegraph is saying even if it takes all the way to october, or who knows, even beyond, what could happen, ithink knows, even beyond, what could happen, i think that... the thing is, i remembertalking happen, i think that... the thing is, i remember talking to nigel farage a few months ago and he wasn't sure if he would go back into politics. he clearly is. i think it also... he has a very personal following. we are in identity politics, and he resonates with a constituency in the larger sense of the word, in this country. and sometimes beyond. it

there are political parties that back us the left party many greens and some social democrats as well as the berlin tenants association and labor unions but our strength lies in the people who live there are key partners even if the petition succeeds the referendum wouldn't be binding the city government wouldn't be compelled to act on it and it's not clear it could afford to act the doj of one company says it's not worried. the hour. we have well founded expert opinions that such expropriations are not permissible under the law. whatever the outcome the petition and demonstrations in berlin and other cities are focused public discourse on the problem which affects a large section of the population eighty six percent of berlin residents rent their homes. we want to draw attention to what's going on in the city the crazy rents soared seventy percent over the past ten years people have their back to the wall and wages aren't keeping up something has to give. but what exactly has more people moved to berlin the demand for housing rises to while the supply hasn't kept up and soaring rents

sides of the political spectrum one lady you waiting had voted for we need us today most the far left party saying you know it was really important for me to turn out to vote today to blow the rise of the far right than a gentleman he said he had voted for see that analysts basically saying the right is the only you are the only ones i trust to run this country in an effective way what they seem to be grieving on is that this has been a very divisive very very tense election campaign indeed and that these elections are really important for the future of this country now as in many countries and many european countries spain is seeing a resurgence of the far right what is driving that. well the main issue that has helped the far right vox party a rise in the polls is the issue of catalonian independence they have been critical in criticizing the socialist government under petro sunshines that was in place since last summer for actually being supported by a catalan independence in the separatist party and then they were using that wave of nationalist fervor really to push for other values ver

more on this subject let's speak to uncle tom schatz beric she is a member of the german socialist left party and a member of the german parliament says she joins us now from the parliament thank you so much for taking out the time to talk to us your husband was the spokesman of wiki leaks and he wrote the book inside wiki leaks what you make of his arrest today. i do think that it's an attack on freedom of speech and on press freedom as a whole because what he is accused of is basically that he provided a publicist platform for whistleblowers to publish knowledge about issues somewhere somewhere in the world without fearing negative consequences for themselves that is the basic issue why he has to be punished by the united states and that must not happen because it attacks press freedom everywhere in the world will be president's case so for you this is a very clear attack on free speech yes and it's probably made easier because as you said before it is a controversial person he is probably not the most moral person we know by his personal character but that has nothing to do with with perse

of course there are political parties on the left and in the center but the left is rather weak in israel right now. they usually win only five or ten percent of the vote. the centrist parties are actually center right here so in the final analysis it all comes down to how much netanyahu and the parties that support him will win by. well why have the israelis moved to the right. side. and many countries today right wing nationalist or semi fascist parties are on the rise. that's the case in israel as well. there's a sort of siege mentality here israel is defending itself against the palestinians and iran. and if that's the way you think that's the way you'll vote a lot of people aren't thinking about peace from the. base huge israeli election campaign billboard show was benyamin netanyahu with donald trump the president has expressed support for the prime minister's reelection in december twenty seven teen the u.s. announced that it would move its embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem. it was a controversial decision. and it's prompted to find the demonstrations in the palestinian

party members. so we know that even with the far left as a partner sanchez will not have enough seats to govern so who in the world is he going to turn to. well he's going to have to speak to several regional parties from you know from the boss country from sort of smaller regions like which is right beside the basque country in the north coast but essentially what he's going to need is the support of the on the austerity we need us but then most of course the far left party will say and they have already said that they are more than willing to enter into a coalition with pedro sanchez head of sanchez and his number two kind of incredible from the socialist have both said that they would prefer to govern alone and just have to support of say you need us for the most and the smaller regional parties from around spain but also leading into the election pether sancia didn't rule out the idea of actually forming a coalition with only that's put them off and also let's not forget that spaniards are a little bit jaded with the number of elections people have have to where i'm going to say in georgia over th

in one thousand nine hundred five spanish voters have returned a far right party to parliament in force the extremes of the left and right are getting stronger the political center is falling apart a reality that spain no shares with much of europe and the united states. the reality sinks in and election that leaves no party in power many in spain were relieved however that the far right had not done even better than it did at the polls. but i mean helpful for me i think it's a good result and sincerely i didn't expect it but i thought the right wing was going to win so it's cool for me. but i mean. by then we i think that the socialist victory is good and now there is hope that the bad guys don't win. the socialist party leader pederast sanchez had explicitly pitched his party to voters as the best way to stop the far right. the spaniards have sent a very clear message to europe and to the world it is possible to win the against reactionaries and authoritarianism with. progressive proposals. but sanchez faces an uphill battle forming a ruling coalition the far right party vox may not have won but it still had

netanyahu to form a coalition and on the other hand there was a lot of talk that maybe a lot of the left party supporters like this very cardio labor would give their vote to the new and white list simply as a strategic goal simply and have been to try to end this ten year rule but having to tell you know over this country well they fared better their people told their ad that it was better. one of the many we're hearing that it might fall below that threshold where it is above the national so that is certainly something that goes in the strength of the cab of the red white. ribbon hota given that it's very close to the exit polls are showing these contradictory results what would it be that benny gantz would need. to actually win the right. one to win out right believe the job to form a coalition but to get to the point where he could form a coalition that would give him the the presidency. well he already has a very strong parliamentarian blog inside that there said we don't know yet it seems that it's going to be a good thing his father been very wrong now he needs to do what ever what happ
